"Hitler's Henchmen" is a six-part series that portrays the men who aided Adolf Hitler in his rise to power and serviced the infernal machinery of the Third Reich. The Nuremberg Trials play an important role here: in a historical first, the International War Crimes Tribunal passed judgment on leading Nazi paladins for their unparalleled atrocities while exposing to the world the infamy of the Hitler regime and its leaders. ZDF uses newly discovered archive material and interviews with surviving family members and Nazi insiders to draw historical psychograms of Hitler's closest aides. Conceived as a sequel to our six-part series "Hitler," "Hitler's Henchmen" offers in-depth personal and political profiles of six men who became architects of the destruction of Europe. Portraits of the men who carried out Hitler's plans: ZDF's sequel about the men who consolidated Hitler's reign and turned his plans into action. They wove the complicities and plots without which Hitler could have never perpetrated the crime of the century. They helped to sway the judges and the bureaucrats, the armed forces and the police, the scientists and the industrialists, the students and their teachers to the regime's ways of thinking. What kind of people were they? What inspired them to serve a corrupt administration with such enthusiasm and devotion? How did their careers unfold and their fates end? The series answers these and other questions by examining six of Hitler's cohorts. The portraits of these aides-de-camp provide viewers with a revealing psychogram of "Hitler's willing executors." The films present for the first time newly discovered film clips and sound recordings from international archives. Recent revelations provided by historical research and interviews with former coworkers, relatives, and victims are also shown.

Bormann was a bureaucrat. We all know the guy. The boss's lackey who makes sure things get done the way the boss wants them done. The guy who hangs on every word the boss says to anticipate his wishes. Every boss needs a guy like Bormann. He gets things done. Was Bormann "evil"? Probably not at all, he was just a lackey. Guys like Bormann are valuable to any CEO or Executive but their personal feelings are usually unknown. Bormann wasn't a criminal but was guilty by "association"...

@summerlight67 (continued) Britain were bled and exhausted. then with a retrained reequipped army of vast size enter the war at the moment of his choosing and utterly dominate Europe. Germany would be crushed and weakened Britain and France would be his inferiors. It was a simple strategy and after the pact with Hitler was signed Stain said to Molotov "I've won". Hitler back on his doorstep in 41 was a disaster and Stalin hoped to appease Hitler and survive till 42 when his army would be ready.

@KevinVancouver2 Stalin was going to attack Germany. Not in 1941 like Suvorov and others say but in 1942 or 43 when his army was ready. In 1941 he did everything to avoid war and not provoke Hitler and so left Russia open to invasion. But his strategy in signing the non-aggression pact with Hitler was based on long term strategy for war. He knew the Germans would now invade Poland and Britain and France would fight Hitler. He expected to sit and watch for a few years until Germany, France and..

@MikeMths35 Operation Barbarossa was pretty much under way by then so it would only make sense that Stalin would by now have figured out Hitler's intentions. Maybe these stats will help: The Soviet Union played the significant role in the defeat of Nazi Germany, being responsible for 95% of all german casualties from 1941-44 and suffering 65% of all the allied military casualties accumulated throughout the war. 90% of German military deaths throughout the whole war occurred in Russia.

@KevinVancouver2 The books of Albert L. Weeks, Viktor Suvorov (Russian), Constantine Pleshakov (Russian) are based on documents discovered in the Kremlin archives of a speech Stalin made on May 5, 1941 in which he said it was time for the USSR to switch over to the offensive and that the main enemy was Germany. There was a huge buildup of the Soviet army and air force on the Third Reich's border. Get the book by Albert L. Weeks titled Stalin's Other War: Soviet Grand Strategy, 1939-1941.

@MikeMths35 Stalin had no intention of attacking Germany. Since the fall of communism not a written shred of evidence has come forth that I know of that indicates that Stalin had any intention of attacking Hitler after he had signed the non aggression treaty. There was a point previous to this when Stalin tried to get Britain and France to come to an agreement that would protect Poland from the coming invasion. Poland steadfastly refused to allow Russian troops to pass through to battle.

@Dr1Canuckchuck You could have selected many reasons why Hitler's military strategy harmed the German war effort but your example of invading Russia is not a good one. In the last 20 years several Russian historians have revealed that the long standing western theory that Stalin's primary goal was to defend the Soviet Union from Hitler simply isn't true. Stalin's policy was aggressive and his goal was to conquer Europe. If Hitler had not invaded Russia, Stalin was going to attack Germany.

@MikeMths35 Your point is...?
